Hello, would you like a help with this code snippet, could someone explain to me what it does exactly ? (Especially the part %*1[ n])
scanf(%[^\n]%*1[\n], string);

%[^\n]: reads a string until you find a ' n' (end of line).
%*1[\n]: this * right after the % indicates that what is read will not be assigned to any variable (in this case to discard ENTER).

Mr Robot, that’s called Regular expressions, is a form of input "formatting and validation". I don’t know exactly what the formatting is in your code, but do a search to know better.
